“I see a lot of similarities with the skating, the range of play, the way he defends and the way he handles things from an overall point of view to Victor Hedman,” said Button. “Silayev’s skating is outstanding.

“Silayev, like Hedman, is not worried about impressing anybody. He’s just going to play; he’s not worried about showing himself off. He’s just a really good hockey player and at 17 years of age, I can’t imagine where he’ll be at 20.”

Well that’s certainly quite a comp.

I googled him and apparently McKenzie referred to Silayev as a ‘unicorn’ because of how well he skates for his height. He sounds like a fvcking stud.

The Devils must really love Silayev. With how Dennehy raved about Helenius, Nygard, and especially Dickinson (all of whom were still available), Silayev must have been very high on their list.

Hmmmm, lots of potential but not risk free, taking a defensive D Man at 10th overall seems like a bit of a reach.

That KHL experience is good though.

There have been others that played with men.

On one of those videos I linked Shannon (The Hockey Guy) said a better skating Zadarov.

Found it hilarious that ESPN was talking about how Buffalo will now have an “identity” because they have Lindy Ruff

Why are we laughing. Lindy has never coached up there before. he could a perfect fit. It’s not like he had a stacked roster that went undefeated for like 15 straight games to start the year, Olympic medaling goalie who was arguably the best American goalie at his time, and completely wasted his prime. All hinging on two words he yelled over and over at a Stanley cup LOSING celebration, the closest he ever came to being a champion, 25 years ago.

He's on HF and posts there so I'm sure he'll post something if he didn't already.

Yeah, I know he’s a regular over there. I just hate that board. Even lurking there is annoying on my phone. It’s borderline unusable.
